Kromm Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Just wondering if there will ever be any MODS available on the PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpbone Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I really want mods for console too but I don't think we are going to get any. I already started a thread asking the same thing and I didn't get an answer. The thread actually got closed. Not much love or respect for console users on this forum, even though we payed the same price if not more for the game. One of the responses I got on my thread was from a modder who didn't want his mod on consoles simply because he didn't own a console. Kind of shows you what we are dealing with here.

Spenstary Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 I think KSP mods are unlikely ever to be available for PS4. The developers are having a hard enough time just creating a patch to fix the severe bugs in the released version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kromm Posted August 19, 2016 Author Share Posted August 19, 2016 I was being hopeful, since it is fairly new to the PS 4. If they wanted to, Mods on the XBOX would be fairly easy, since it's operating system is based on windows. This game has a very high learning curve, and from what I have seen some of the Mods even that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuoDex Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 There are no mods planned for the console editions in the near future, to the best of my knowledge. I understand that there are certain architectural considerations that must be made, as well as the reluctance of certain vendors to have unapproved (and possibly malicious) code running on their platforms. Plus, distribution and troubleshooting would be a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpbone Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Yeah, I knew it. KSP on console is just a money grab. We get half the content at full price. Nice one. No extra work is going to go into making KSP a good and fun game to play on console like it is on PC. This game is about mods. The mods section of this forum is the most popular. There is a modding Monday. If you own a console though, too bad, you get a buggy, old, broken game, with little to no support. This game should have never released on console if they were going to treat it and us like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Iron Crown Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 @chimpbone Sony and Microsoft aren't going to permit arbitrary DLLs on their platforms, full stop. It's not an option and likely never will be. It is not Squad's fault that this is so, there is nothing they can do to change it, and they never advertised or implied mods would be supported on the console releases. Some people play and enjoy the stock game, even on PC. Mods are not necessary for enjoyment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have done a lot of different things. They could have had paid DLC. This game is all about mods for those that have access to them, and it leaves a lot to be desired on console. Getting this game on console really feels like you're missing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even that game has much more limited modding options for the console version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, it is a bummer that the console version of this game feels that it is lacking content, not to mention the bugs, glitches, and general bad performance. A LOT more work could have gone into this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Squad has little to no control over the modding potential of consoles. Arguing about it here can't change that, so this thread is no longer serving a purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
